It’s Good To Talkshow face-off: Kate Nash v. MGMT

Film, TV & Radio Goodness, It's Good To Talkshow, Video

There seem to be a lot of quality musical performances coming from the talkshows across the pond these days. A by-product of the writers’ strike, perhaps?
Well anyway, I couldn’t choose between these two, so I’m posting them both. Nash’s “Foundations” seems a lot warmer when she performs it live, as you can see on The Late Late Show over the page - the sass is softened by the heart when she’s sat there at her keyboard, I think. Her album has just gone Top 40 Stateside, which is no mean feat for an artist so heavy on Brit-slang.
Meanwhile NYC band MGMT made their debut on Letterman last week in a fetching collection of capes. But don’t let that put you off - “Time To Pretend” is a laidback but uplifting psychedelic pop-rock number not a million miles from The Flaming Lips.
Watch both performances after the jump.
